Posted recently. We believe great workplaces are built on great people. We are looking for a Shipping Clerk in Bethlehem, and we encourage applicants from across Free State to consider this opportunity.
About This Position
The Shipping Clerk vacancy forms part of how the Bethlehem branch keeps performing. It pairs day-to-day delivery with longer-running priorities that keep the logistics jobs side of the business moving forward.
Communication runs both ways. Managers across the logistics jobs team in Free State make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.

Working in Bethlehem
Importantly, the role is based in Bethlehem, along the N1 central corridor. Public transport links and parking are within easy reach, making the daily commute manageable for candidates living across Bethlehem and the broader Free State region.
Accessibility is taken seriously: where the role allows, the team works toward a balance of in-office presence and flexibility for candidates based in and around Bethlehem.
If you are relocating, the team can share practical pointers on neighbourhoods, transport and the typical pace of life in Bethlehem, Free State.
Career Growth
This role can grow with you. Strong performers in the logistics jobs team in Bethlehem have moved into senior, supervisory and specialist positions, and that journey is supported through coaching, training and exposure to bigger projects.
Training is a mix of formal courses, structured on-the-job learning and exposure to broader projects, all geared at building practical skills.
